Relational demography and officer occupational attitudes: The influence of workgroup context

Journal of Criminal Justice, 2014, vol. 42, issue 4, 309-320

Abstract: Researchers have long held an interest in understanding what role officer demographics play in explaining occupational attitudes. Despite this interest, evidence has consistently shown such relationships to be inconsistent. Using a relational demography framework that is based on the notion that demographic effects are contextual rather than universal across all officers, the current study examines the extent to which officer demographics influences their occupational attitudes when viewed in relation to other officers in their assigned workgroup.
